    green coffee bean extract

    I am currently trying it. Just bought enough for a month. Don't really think it is helping me at this time and will not be getting it again. I am combining it with raspberry ketones as was suggested in an article I read and I made sure to get the full amount that is supposed to be needed of...

    Trying this again...

    Hi everyone, Just found you all here. I have been on a diet of some sort for most of my life. I really need to make some changes that will work for me because I need to lose about 1/2 my weight. My knees and back have been complaining and it gets worse every year. I am thinking that, at the...

    Move your feet!

    I do have a question. Did she slip or get scared by something as she started trotting with you at some time? She may have to learn to trust trotting again. Otherwise, I like Jamie's idea about backing. I use that with any horse that will not go forward for any reason. For some reason, they...

    Is this something she will get used to or is age related?

    If they both go to the same pasture and you have the time, I would allow the pony out first and make the little one wait a few minutes. Then I would let her out increasing the time as we go. The same with bringing them in. Bring in the pony and let the little one out a few minutes. She will...

    Dog chasing horses

    This is a good idea, Marty, but also a possible costly one.

    Dog chasing horses

    Will local animal control pick it up if you called them and told them about it? Around here, they would and then it will cost the owner to get it back. If it is chasing pets and farm animals, there could also be some sort of leash law that will come into effect. If you cannot resolve it in...

    How to give a miniature horse a bath in the winter/cold weather?

    I just reread your post. NO WAY would I give her a bath. TOO cold and she will not dry for hours in that temperature. A sleazy is no help against cold.

    How to give a miniature horse a bath in the winter/cold weather?

    I would not give her a bath unless it is going to be warm (65-70 or above) for several hours. Yellowish hair is much preferrable to a sick horse. You can try a shop vac and clean all the dust and dirt out and possible then put something like miracle groom on a rag to wipe her off, but getting...

    Quick Clipper Question

    They will fit, but will they last for the long haul? I have gotten my andis and oster blades sharpened over and over and they are still doing good after some have been sharpened more than 10 times. Will the discount ones last as long? I would be cautious about a brand I do not know.

    Clippers! Need Advice

    I have 4 sets of andis agc 2speed. Love, love, love them. I have a double k and use them for first clippings each year but use the andis all summer long. I can clip a horse from front to back including ears and feet in 90 mins or less with them as long as I switch the blades often and let...

    Showing a "A" mini in a "B" class???

    If I am not mistaken, you would have to measure the horse 3 different times at an amhr show and measure over each time before the papers are expected to be changed. I have seen many horses that have 34" and under on their papers show in the over classes--even at the nationals. They would just...

    Please Share: Barn Plans and Ideas

    Here is my barn lay out. We have a lot of stalls with several run out pens around the barn. Since we have limited stallions, all geldings and mares can go out to play at the same time. Right now, we have 34 of these stalls filled. We have another lot for just our mares that has a large lean...

    Does Your Club Have a Seminar day?

    Our clinic is to be on April 20 this year. We do sponsor several shows, but there would be very little time at those. Possibly at our November meeting/banquet. It is usually 3rd sat of the month. If you want, I can check with the board of directors and see if there is an interest. I think...

    Does Your Club Have a Seminar day?

    Where are you located? Our event is just 15 min from the arch in St Louis, MO and our budget would not allow for much travel. If you are close enough and interested, I can give you the name of the committee chairman.

    Help! How do I get my Miniature Horse to stop eating grass and work?

    I have seen a couple of people say that he might be acting up because you are working him during his feeding time. I don't happen to believe that it should matter. As long as he gets enough to eat sometime during his day, it should be you that controls him whenever you like. We show horses...

    Sad day in the Shetland and Miniature world

    I just learned that Joyce Pierson passed away this morning. Joyce has been in the ASPC/AMHR for many, many years. She has been an inspiration and a source of information for many of us. My thoughts are with her Daughter and son-in-law, Ann and Mike Linze and grandaughter, Samantha. As per...

    Help! How do I get my Miniature Horse to stop eating grass and work?

    I also don't go with the certain feeding time idea. Yes, they know when it is feeding time, but mine know that time on a lead is my time--any time of day or night. No yanking or grazing or even fighting to get to their stall and feed bowl. It does take a firm hand and consistency. Oh, and...

    Does Your Club Have a Seminar day?

    Show Me Little Equine Club has a clinic on the third weekend in April. Is that what you are talking about? It will be a one day event this year on Saturday.

    How small is to small to ride?

    I would say that it would be ok up to 50lbs, but not more if she doesn't have a saddle. Also, you aren't going to have the child on the horse for hours at a time. You are probably only doing it for 10 or 15 minute spurts a few times a week or less. If your 30in. mini is very fine boned or...
